How to Play Like Mohamed Salah

I'm sure every young Egyptian soccer player has always wanted to learn how to play soccer like Mohamed Salah, but now, I'm sure every young soccer player in Liverpool, England wants to play like Salah, too.

Salah has had an incredible season so far for Liverpool, and there's talk they he'll be the Premier League player of the year. Also, this summer in the World Cup, all eyes will be on Salah to see what he can do on the world stage. Let's look at what makes Salah such a great goal scorer and forward and see if we can learn how to play soccer like him.

Perhaps his greatest goal so far in the EPL is his goal versus the Tottenham Hotspurs, as he appeared to win the game for Liverpool, slipping past two defenders and chips the ball over the keeper from close range.

What makes Salah unique is how he uses his body to protect the ball and surprises defenders with cuts and touches that enable him to slice through and into the open space.

But since Salah is having such a great season at Liverpool, even bigger soccer clubs are now interested in signing him. This is what Real Madrid's manager and soccer legend Zidane had to say about Salah:

"Salah is a great player. He showed that at Roma, now at Liverpool," the report quotes Zidane as saying. "He's still young and is improving all the time. I don't talk much about other players, but he is a player I rate a lot."

These words from Zidane should give Salah even more confidence. And at 25 years old he's perhaps on the verge of being the prime time of his soccer career.

One thing that stands out with Salah is his dertmination and tirelessness. If you want to play like Salah then it's key to work incredbily hard and never give up. Also, Salah is always trying to score and go towards goal.

And it's not just his ability to score that makes him great but it's his assists and setting up teammates. He's certainly an unselfish player and simply just wants to help his team win.

Again though, what's unqiue aobut Salah is he drives at defenders with the ball. So if you want to learn how to play like Salah you need to take a touch of the ball with every step when you dribble, so the ball is close to you - start out slow and then build up to where you can sprint with the ball at your feet like Salah.
